We made it, finally. Both Sandy and I turned in our computer equipment to our respective companies on Wednesday September 30th. A day that will be remembered by us for a long long time. What this means is that our cruising plans will start moving forward in earnest.
Last week I installed the SSB radio equipment. I still have the antenna and the counterpoise to finish up. I will post photos when completed. I also received our life raft. I purchased a Winslow 6 person standard offshore raft.
I have finished getting the permits for our radio equipment from the FCC, received our 2010 U.S. Customs sticker and have applied to the Bahamas Department of Agriculture for permits to get our cats into the Bahamas this winter.
We have left to bottom paint Xpereince and move her to the coast. We are planning to move to Mobile Alabama sometime after November 15th. We would like to spend December in the Florida Keys and then head over to the Bahamas until April before heading up the U.S. east coast to the Chesapeake Bay where we will spend summer of 2010.
